* The book that inspired Chrissy Teigen and Sex and The City's Miranda to quit drinking *
_____________ 'An incredible read' - Chrissy Teigen 'Has the power to change your
relationship with your entire life' - Glennon Doyle 'This thoughtful moving book will help
a lot of people get to a healthier place' - Johann Hari _____________ We live in a world
obsessed with drinking. We drink at work events lunches book clubs and weddings. Yet no one
ever questions alcohol's ubiquity. In fact the only thing ever questioned is why people don't
drink. It is a qualifier for belonging. As a society we are obsessed with health and wellness
yet we uphold alcohol as some sort of magic elixir. It is anything but. When Holly Whitaker
started to look for a way to recover the support systems she found for recovery where archaic
and patriarchal. Urging drinkers towards a newfound humility is great if you're a man but if
you're a woman and not in a position to renounce privileges you never had a whole other
approach is needed. Honest witty and trenchant Quit Like a Woman is at once a
ground-breaking look at drinking culture a call to arms and a celebration of learning how to
claim everything life has to offer.
